GOt them in the mail!!! Way cool. Haven't put them on the bike yet. I am feeling a little beery after working on the house all day, but rounded the corner, and there they were. That's got to be good for a least a couple HP. I am tweaked. Hopefully, I'll be getting the race kit next week. Along with the streetfighter seat. Almost good to go. Stretch | ||

These are them. Sorry for the pic. Room is cramped. Stretch  | ||

How can you see anything but your belly with them?? Aren't they too low and close to each other?? Just wondering.. | ||
| Stretchman |
Looking right down the side of my legs directly back. Believe it or not, they are supposed to be better than the mouse ears, and don't vibrate that close in, or so I have heard. May take it out later to verify. Haven't rode with the yet. Stretch | ||

hmmmmmm | ||

Good luck stretch. I can't wait to see them up close. The stockers??? on my 9R are further and higher out and I can't see anything in them. Can see great on the X1 with the CR Hindsights, though. Vibration is almost never there. Excellent mirrors. Spendy, but well worth it. Hope you have the same luck!  (Doesn't this smiley remind you of Morgan?) Clif | ||

Keep us posted. Interesting concept that really could work. | ||
| Stretchman |
Not my concept. Actually stole the idea from somebody else, and saw a Duc with them on too. Looks really good, cleans the front of the bike up, and they are supposed to work really well. I will know tomorrow. Still going to Holiday Park? Stretch | ||

I've had mine on for 4 months or so and wouldn't go back. No vibration, so nice and clear. A good view of the blind-spots out each side. You can't see directly behind you, but just move sideways a fraction on the seat and it's OK. And as Stretchman said, "Looks really good, cleans the front of the bike up . . ." Only thing I will do is to get nicer hose clamps to hold them in place; maybe the automotive dress-up anodised type. An excellent cheap alternative. | ||
| Captainxb |
And here's a picture;  | ||
| Stretchman |
Yeah, I moved mine outboard some. They really do work great, but the hose clamps suck. I had to bend the stems a little to get them to fit, but now have a clear view of the road. Helps in the blind spots too. Stretch | ||

Cool idea Where did you get them and how much? | ||
| Wammy |
will this work on a R? | ||
| Bazzy |
Exactly what i'm looking for. Do any of your bar controls become difficult to use? How much did they run? Why is everything for these bikes extremely over priced? | ||
| Aeroe |
starts with an "H" and ends with a "arley". plus the aftermarket arena is...developing. | ||
| Captainxb |
I got mine secondhand, not sure on $RRP. On an R, is there any space on the bar just inboard of the controls? As long as the bars don't sweep back too much, it may work. The mirrors don't get in the way of the controls if you set them correctly. "Why is everything for these bikes extremely over priced?" I have no idea what you are referring to here; but these Dual Star Mirrors are an aftermarket universal dirt-bike mirror. Not designed with any particular manufacturer in mind. And compared to the (more) specifically designed mirrors by CRG and Rizoma, these Dual Stars are CHEAP. | ||
| Bazzy |
Well... an example is the fender eliminator kit for like $215.. | ||
| Pipefittermike |
I do agree with Bazzy, from mirrors to tail sections nothing is cheap. However we do have the option of just leaving it stock...  | ||

// HI-JACK// Zach just eliminate the rear fender your self. i did my own cheese grator ectomy. took about an hour and $70 to have my whole rear sub frame powder coated to match the frame.  //:hi-jack over// brian (lonexb) | ||
| Pinball |
I got these at a bicycle store for about $35 and they work great and do not vibrate!   | ||
| Diablobrian |
Pinball do you have a brand and model on those mirrors? I like the oval better than the round bar-ends. | ||
| Pupu |
dont they make your bike quite a bit wider though, i live in the bay area so i got the ones that fold in, do those fold? | ||
| Stretchman |
http://www.dual-star.com is the url I ordered them from. | ||
| Diablobrian |
There is no lane sharing in Missouri so it isn't an issue. I lived on the Presidio and commuted to Alameda for 3 years (when we were in port) so I can see where width would be a concern for you Pupu. I miss riding Marin county on the weekends even after 13 years away from there. | ||
| Pinball |
No they don`t fold.They are " blackburn multimirrors ",they work great ,and if you`re getting that close to stuff to worry about a couple of inches,,,...well,..then you`re getting too close to stuff! |
